Chapter 162, Family Affection Between Aristocrats.
The girl's words made Gu Erdan stunned.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the girl directly lifted the white cloth.
Sure enough, the corpse below wasn't fat at all.
Seeing this scene, Gu Erdan's nose twitched, and he began to shake vigorously again while holding the corpse.
"Daddy! Why are you still shrinking! Look at you're hungry! How much you suffered when you died! Father! ”
"Grunton!"
Facing the crying and mourning of Gu Erdan who couldn't even recognize people, the other party's family members were very stable, if it wasn't for someone next to them, they were afraid that they would have smashed over with a brazier.
Gu Erdan, who was forcibly dragged away, wiped his tears and turned to the other corpse.
"Daddy...... Ahem, let me make sure. ”
Lifting the white cloth, Gu Erdan cautiously looked inside.
Looking at the miserable face inside, Gu Erdan came to his heart, hugged the corpse and began to shake again.
"Daddy! Who beat you like this! Who! Who the hell is it! I want revenge! Avenge! ”
Gu Lanqiang, who came over to watch the excitement next to him, smiled secretly when he heard this.
"It was the rebels who did it, and these guys gathered some soldiers out of nowhere, and they actually took a large caravan that we had formed in conjunction with other families."
"Rebels? It's just some anti-thieves! Be not worth mentioning! Say! How many of them there are! I will wash them in blood to avenge my father! ”
Gu Erdan stood up and roared impassionedly, causing Gu Lanqiang next to him to smile more and more playfully.
"It's not much, and it adds up to more than 20,000 people, and the battle record is just a big caravan of 2,000 people."
"Two ............"
Looking up at the young man, and after finding that this kid didn't look like a joke, Gu Erdan suddenly knelt down next to the corpse again.
"Daddy! Please forgive the children for their incompetence! I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge my father in this life! I don't have the face to be your son! I'm going to swear by it today! Break off all ties with the Gu family! Everyone's green mountains do not change the green water for a long time! There will be no time in the future! ”
Gu Erdan said that he took out a fruit knife and was about to cut off a strand of hair, but was stopped by a person next to him who reached out and stopped him.
Seeing that the action was stopped, Gu Erdan was indignant.
"You let go of me! Unable to avenge the Father! What face do I have to gain a foothold in the ancient family! Just leave me to fend for myself! Let me go! ”
The old master who stopped his movements, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot when he heard this.
"That rebel army has already fought with the regular army of the Qin State, and it didn't come to us!"
"Didn't come?"
"Yes."
"You really didn't lie to me?"
“…… Not! Lie! ”
"Oh, then forget it, there's no hurry to cut off the bloodline."
Obediently put away the knife, Gu Erdan once again picked up the corpse and shook it wildly.
"Daddy! Daddy, wake up! Your son has come to see you! How can you bear to let a white-haired person send a black-haired person! Ah no! It's the black-haired man who sends the white-haired man! Come on! Resurrect him, please! Not really, necromancers can too! Someone do me a favor! What about quacks! Where are the quacks in the field! ”
Looking at Gu Erdan, whose attitude changed in an instant, the ancient master shook his head and sighed, grabbed him by the collar, and forcibly threw him out of the hall.
"Dare to come in again! I'll break your legs! ”
The funerals of the two uncles took place as scheduled, one of them was in charge of the family business, and the other was the nominal heir to the earl.
It is definitely a sensational thing for an earl to be hacked to death with a knife.
This incident was indeed a sensation, the 20,000-strong resistance army was extraordinary, and the Qin State had already ordered a regular army and the surrounding lords' forces to start encircling and suppressing it.
Originally, there were only 500 private soldiers in the Guding territory, plus more than 2,200 militiamen.
Although this so-called militia, as long as they put on armor and pick up weapons, they can become private soldiers.
But nominally, the county did have only 500 soldiers.
Some time ago, there was an accident and 120 people were lost.
This time, because of the sneak attack by the rebels, 220 people were lost again, along with a general and an earl.
The losses of the county were not insignificant, so in this operation to encircle and suppress the rebels, their family directly used the lack of troops as the reason for the pigeon.
In fact, it can't be considered a pigeon, if a team of ten people can also be regarded as a troop, their Earldom is still quite active in sending troops.
What is the result of the encirclement and suppression outside, Gu Erdan does not know.
He only knew that his life was not good these days.
Without the support of the umbrella, his beautiful little life would be no guarantee.
Not only did his direct subordinates, who had not dared to provoke him before, begin to barat their teeth at him, but even the attitude of the soldiers plummeted.
And today, the actual controller of the county, the ancient grandfather, who had nominally been relegated to the second line and passed on the throne to his son, suddenly wanted to summon him.
As the door opened, Gu Erdan strode into the room and found that the old man who had not seen him for a few days was much haggard.
The sudden death of his two sons was a big blow to him.
Especially with the death of the two, although the entire county is not a group of dragons without a leader, it is also a mess, and a lot of work is not taken care of, which is a headache for him.
Although many people in the Gooding family volunteered to take over these jobs.
But the old man is also an old fritter, how can he not see that they want to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
If this group of waste is really allowed to fall into the well at this time, the county will have to break its bones.
So the old master had to take over these family work again.
That's why he's so emaciated, it's purely exhausting.
Seeing Gu Erdan's arrival, the old man who was bowing his head to sort out the documents suddenly sighed.
"Boy, you've lost your backer, you know."
Such a straightforward question made Gu Erdan slightly stunned.
"Understood."
"Then I'll be blunt, I don't want to protect you, and you can't find other backers, so you only have one way to go now, hand over all your rights, and find a place to retire."
"Well, what exactly is the right? Do I have any rights? ”
"Of course there is, you are a direct descendant of Gulasa, and you have a part of the inheritance, rest assured, I will not move this right, you can still inherit a piece of territory for retirement, in addition, your original marriage contract has also been dissolved, and someone else will take over this task."
took out the map and put it in front of Gu Erdan, the old man Gu crossed his hands with a serious expression.
"Choose a village, and I will appoint you as the head of the village, and from now on it will be your domain, and you will be responsible for collecting rent for the county, and the county will pay you 500 gold coins a year."
Hearing this, Gu Erdan carefully looked around the map, his cheeks twitching slightly.
"Why are they all marginal areas?"
"Nonsense! The good ones have long been scraped! Where can I afford you to collect money! ”
"And are there any money in these villages on the periphery?"
"Yes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, the more dangerous the place, the more ways to get money, they are very rich."
"Can I get some kickbacks from that?"
"Yes, as long as you're not afraid of being hacked to death, you can do whatever you want."
"Hacked?! Is it so dangerous to be a village chief! ”
Looking at Gu Erdan's wide-eyed appearance, Old Man Gu grinned.
"Do you think that the village that can gain a foothold in the danger zone will be some kind of good man and woman? The previous chiefs of these villages were hacked to death by them. ”
